Analysis of Chest CT Results of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Patients at First Follow-Up

Figure 3

A 55-year-old male patient with a severe case of COVID-19. (a, b) Consolidations and ground-glass opacities were seen in multiple lobes and segments of both lungs on day 25 after onset of the disease. The density was not uniform, and there was an evidence of air bronchograms and intralobular septal thickening. (c, d) On day 47 after onset and day 21 after discharge, ground-glass opacities and fibrous strip shadows were seen in multiple lobes and segments of both lungs. Consolidations dissipated and the intralobular septal thickening was milder compared to the last CT of admission. The total volume of pulmonary lesions was measured and calculated through two CT scans, and the pulmonary lesions were dissipated to a slight degree.
